Equalizer or Blue Ox Weight Distribution for 7,500 lb Trailer
Question:
You helped with the hitch, what about a brake controller for the trailer brakes. What would you suggest, 2010 Tundra pulling the dual axle StarCraft 286 RLWS 7500# trailer.

Between Equalizer and Blue Ox I would go with the Equalizer hands down. Equalizer systems are among the nicest systems you can use. The Blue Ox systems work decently but in terms of sway reduction, ease of install, and reliability the Equalizer is the way to go.
You would want the part # EQ37120ET which would work great on your trailer that weighs 7,500 lbs. It comes with a hitch ball but you would need the thin walled socket part # ALL643216 to install it.
